German satellite measures CO₂ and NO₂ simultaneously from power plant emissions for the first time
A research team from the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry in Mainz and Heidelberg University has, for the first time, used the German environmental satellite EnMAP (Environmental Mapping and Analysis Program) to simultaneously detect the two key air pollutants carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) in emission plumes from power plants—with an unprecedented spatial resolution of just 30 meters.
